Default Exactly what I was thinking.

Love the responses, I have looked into several of the options. As Bigmike posted, I’m 55 wife is 50 we have always used gyms and do so to fight old injuries. I can take pain pills, or stay fit. I guess I was surprised at the cost of the small villages gyms. I see a lot of money spent on amenities, I would assume this is something worth pursuing. You see the cost of a gym is space, cooling and related costs. Here the building is already there, mostly unused. Adding a gym has a startup cost, but with reasonable fees could turn a profit quickly. I think the Mulberry location will work for me just based on convenience. Maybe over time TV will expand these locations.
